Add time zones to database (and support in app) #43

@brundonsmith

Description

@brundonsmith

To keep things simple, and because we were only supporting one event at a time, our initial data model used timezone-less dates (and timestamps) for events, festivals, etc. This has already caused the occasional edge-case problem, but more importantly it prevents us from scaling to true multi-festival support. It was chosen tech debt which now has to be paid.

Some considerations:

  • Database migration will be delicate. We may need a custom script to perform all the conversions
  • We have lots of date/time comparison logic that will need to be updated and tested
  • UI will have to become aware of time zones (for example, when creating new events the user will have to pick one)
